Within seconds of kick-off, the Under-12s showed opponents St Cuthbert's Amazons their clear intent to win the game with Ellie Matthews firing home from close range.

Ellie scored three more with Mary Barnard also netting four.

Jess Cook dominated the middle of the park and was instrumental in linking with Anna Young twice to feed in Sophie Matthews, who scored twice on her return from a broken foot.

Emma Robinson found Mary Barnard, who played a crossfield ball to Anna Young, who in turn played a one-two with Sophie Matthews who then crossed the ball for Lauren Cannell to tap in at the back post, as Boro ran out 11-0 winners.

It was a classic high tempo derby match as the Under-14s played California girls.

Cali girls needed the three points if they were to close the gap on league leaders Boro.

Cali raced into a first-half lead, firing home from a corner after Boro failed to clear their lines.

Boro hit back with a long ball played upfield which Paige Clarke headed onto Faith Patterson, who burst forward and played an inch-perfect cross which Sarah Thompson headed over the Cali keeper.

The second came soon after, when an excellent ball over the top saw Katie Taylor beat two players and fire home from a tight angle to give Boro some breathing space. Boro continued to snuff out Cali attacks to win 4-2.
